@foolishowl did you see loomio.com/d/AZcJK6y2/discussi ?

I guess the vote needs to be restarted along the lines of what is in the wiki like @ntnsndr pointed out?

LoomioDiscussion: Support the Anti-Meta Fedi PactFor some time, there have been rumors that Meta (Facebook) has plans to impose itself on the Fediverse. These rumors have recently been confirmed, with the news that Meta is developing a clone of Mastodon, referred to as "Project 92", "Barcelona", or "Threads", and that it has had a meeting with the administrators of several large Mastodon instances, possibly including Eugen Rochko, while silencing them with a non-disclosure agreement.Meta is an oligopoly that has aggressively sought to control social media, through absorption of other social media companies, and through policies of "embrace, extend, and extinguish", as with the RSS and XMPP protocols. Meta, through Facebook, is infamous for condoning the spread of far right ideology and of dangerous misinformation.There have been calls for pre-emptively blocking Meta's project. In particular, @vantablack@beach.city, administrator of a small Mastodon instance, beach.city, has proposed the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact.https://fedipact.online/I see our best hope in collective resistance.Therefore, I would like us to discuss whether we should support this move, and if so, how best to do so. As a starting point for discussion, I suggest the following:<br>Social.Coop commits to blocking any Fediverse instances that Meta creates.<br>We, as a body, sign the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact.<br>We follow up by collectively drafting and issuing a public statement.<br>(As I have not been active in Social.Coop discussions, I hope that the way I am presenting this is appropriate, and I welcome constructive criticism.)

@edsu @ntnsndr I'm at a total loss how to reduce a range of values to a binary up-or-down vote. I'd been asking for advice on how to do this for weeks.

@edsu @foolishowl @ntnsndr This works, right? Current sentiment (26% voting) suggests there's +50% for defederation.

@richjensen @edsu @foolishowl I am not sure how to interpret the point distribution and whether it really constitutes a majority, though it does seem clear there is strong support for defederation.

@ntnsndr @edsu @foolishowl I read choice items #1 and #2 as an unambiguous preference for 'defederate now' . #3 and #4 are 'wait and see'. I haven't done a ranked choice analysis, just counting the topline. It's true discussion emerged during the vote as to whether defederate might = LIMIT not SUSPEND. It's possible some folks have expressed a choice for 'defederation' when their intention was only to LIMIT. I support another YES/NO vote clearly calling for a 'suspend' action under the rules.

@ntnsndr @edsu @foolishowl Ed's proposed draft (including block) seems good. 🔥
